Abstract
Arthrobotrys oligospora, A. robusta and A. superba, nematode-trapping fungi, were pathogenic to Matruchotia varians, Rhizoctonia solani and Geotrichum sp. by induced, specialized coil-form hyphae EM and light microscopic views of the host-pathogen interface showed that the coils squeezed the host hyphae and degraded the host cell walls, causing them to collapse and eventually to lyse.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
